(pout)  I just biffed a really long comment...  (note to self) NEVER hit the send button unless you've made sure all the boxes are filled...<BR>
<BR>
And now I have to get to WORK (bleh)<BR>
<BR>
I did want to say one thing before I get after it.<BR>
<BR>
Whitney, I am still smiling because I was lucky enough to have shared some bandwidth with you last night.<BR>
<BR>
I'm touched not only by many of the things you said last night, but also by what you said here on the Board yesterday. <BR>
<BR>
Thank you for the gift of YOU.<BR>
<BR>
I'll be back later to share some more verbosity.

 I guess I'm a little late here but i really consider the Blender like my sencond home and second family, i havent met or talked personally w/ anyone, but I've got emails from a couple ppl (which i love to get) and I think that we have really come together, and it really touched me when i saw how much we truly care about eachother like when we were all worried about Misti, you all were like her family and i dunno it was...... touching i guess. sorry i don't like all this mushy ness but i always have to put my 2 cents in :D<BR>
and the whole Blender Bash thing seems like a good idea, but i think we'd all be surprised by eachother, if you get what i mean so i've been lovin all the works latley and all that good stuff.<BR>

Has anyone ever met someone that you are REALLY interested in, and when you are with them there never seems to be enough time... Like there is so much you want to do with them, so much you want to talk about, but you never seem to fit it all in, and when you leave them (until the next time you are together, not forever) you feel like you were just together for a couple of minutes even when you had just spent the whole day with them... What does that mean? Is it a good or a bad sign?<BR>

And oh, our naiive Stephen ~ I doubt Jackrhyme has ever been deprived or lonely :-) Dare ask him, he'll tell you. But I better be nice, he really is moving closer to me!! How cool. I am on the central coast, by the way - in Santa Maria. Home of wine, strawberries, cowboys and tri-tip bbq. I love it here.<BR>

WOW! Have just read all the comments of the last day, about what the blender means to people, and I wanted to say that I feel the same way. <BR>
I've never been 'into' an internet site like I have this one, and I've never bothered with chat rooms and all that, but this place has got me!<BR>
I know I've only been here a few months, but I feel that I've found a lot of special people - who've made me feel welcome - in a special place. <BR>
The emotional support here, through poems and messages, is phenominal, even when its in its most subtle form.<BR>
Big kisses and group hugs all round!<BR>
